Hausa youths in Old Ota road opposite Orile-Agege General Hospital in Lagos began celebrating the emergence of President-elect Muhammadu Buhari hours before he was declared winner of last Saturday’s election.
As at 8pm on Tuesday, the youths comprising yam sellers and commercial motorcyclists otherwise known as Okada riders gathered in the middle of the road linking Orile-Agege junction.
Holding brooms, the symbol of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on which platform Buhari contested the election, they dance round the road, shouting: Sai Baba, Sai Baba, Sai Baba.
They caused a traffic snarl.
A commuter noted that the traffic situation would have been worse if residents had not prepared for the celebration.
